the use of HIS AI is very negotiable and many countries have already been steering away from "OpenAI" (currently probably one of the most non-open AI countries out there).
The current trend in AI research indicates that smaller and thus much cheaper and less resource-hungry models can be used for most tasks and that trend will continue.
The bad news for Altman is that it currently looks like there is no way for him to ever make OpenAI profitable. It is hard to see what the USP for OpenAI could be that would ever allow it make up for the huge investments and become profitable.

will just vote for those who tell them it is all a big conspiracy and the right thing to do is drill, baby drill and buy even more large cars!

The number of stupid people, especially in a large country, especially in a country with amoung the highest CO2 emissions per capita, is apparently just too high to allow any hope at all.

when people are stupid enough to accept it.
And apparently, a large (big enough) part of people are stupid enough.

That wouldveventually turn out to massively improve everyone's safety and quality of life so much.

Should we not put surveillance cameras into all bedrooms?

and given what a fascist kind of psychoses those are, that is rather bad news.

I think: nothing.
So again: why is it so terrible to have a registry for knowing which person is associated with a telephone number?
What are your use-cases of using a phone where that knowledge would affect you negatively?

... ANY internet access.
Of course just to protect the children. That all internet access will then be linked to the user personally is just an unavoidable side-effect.
But we need to think of the children!

Registering your ID with your number is totally unacceptable - why?

... if a surveillance camera was installed in every room of your house!
Would that not be superplusgood?

Anthropic (and other LLM providers) have an utterly appalling subscription model where they basically let you pay without knowing at all what you get for the payment. There is no information whatsoever anywhare on their web pages, in the pages where they describe plans, nor will they provide it when asked on the support channel, on the number of requests, number of input/output tokens or anything measurable per unit of time they would promise to give you. All they tell you is that you get k times more for the more expensive subscription without ever telling you more of what.
This borders on fraud, really and is an utterly unacceptable way of doing business that really should be outlawed by regulators.
So now they tell you one more thing you do not get for your money, but still give no information about what your get.

and change codebase layout and structure, prompts and assets just enough to make it look sufficiently different.

There are no routers manufactured in the US. Nil, none, zero.
Some are assembled in the US but that does not change the fact that electronic componets come from Taiwan, Vietnam, China or other countries.
So once all those routers stocked are bought up, people in the US will remain with old, unpatched and probably increasingly insecure routers.

Brilliant move!

... similar to the exquisitely stupid questions "why do we need to learn X in school" which is surprisingly often asked, especially by people who visit some gym regularly to run without getting anywhere or lifting a weight just to put it down again.

Well, if you keep asking stupid questions instead of actually putting in the effort to learn something (does not really matter what though maths, biology, physics and chemistry are always a good choice), your brain rot will proceed and you will ask even stupider questions in a year.

has polluted Colorado that severely to make their brain cells rot away to such an extend?
